Is it September already?
Language Arts: This morning in Language Arts, time flew by! We had our pictures taken, reviewed RIT words, listened to our read aloud, and discussed simple and complete predicates. We also practiced writing compound sentences. We accomplished this all before double specials!
Reminder:
***Our RIT words for the week are as follows: consonance, pun, alliteration, allusion, and flashback.
Homework:
***Book orders and Highlights (yellow) papers are due on Friday.
***Study RIT words and spelling words

Math: Today we worked on divisibility rules during computation time. (I think that many students forgot the rules over the summer so today's lesson should have been helpful. Our lesson for the day was percent and circle graphs. We are making a lot of progress on this unit. Our test over Unit 1 will be early next week.
Homework:
***Math Boxes 1.8-1.11- (They had time in class to complete most of this.)

Social Studies: Chapter 1 tests were passed back today. Be looking for them to be in blue folders tonight. We jumped right into the next chapter today. We began with a discussion about moving to a new place and what makes us comfortable. This started our discussion about American Indians and their moving from Asia into North America. The students were also given a new list of chapter vocabulary. The words are as follows: origin story, migrate, environment, adapt, kiva, migration, natural resource, adaptation, and pictograph. Please review them a little each night.
***In looking ahead, it looks as though we will be finished with this chapter in about 6 school days. We will be having a test over chapter 2 probably next Wednesday.
Homework:
***No written work
Until tomorrow...
